The main objective of law of registration is to provide a conclusive proof of genuineness of document, afford publicity to transaction, prevent fraud, afford facility for ascertaining whether a property has already been transacted and afford security of title deeds and facility of providing titles in case the original deeds are lost or destroyed.

Registration department at present is the third largest source of revenue to the state exchequer, the first two being sales tax and excise. Registration law governs documents rather than transactions.
